"I Sold My Mercedes to Build a Village with 60 houses"

I just watched this inspirational story of an English millionaire Dylan Wilk on TV, whose Phillipino friend once said to him that she felt guilty for buying a first class ticket when people in her country were dying in slums... and this was the guy who after six weeks of buying his Ferrari had gotten tired of it and thought that if this doesn't make me happy, then what will...

" I learned to know the difference between pleasure and happiness"

Soon enough, he sold his software business to help an NGO Gawad Kalinga working to eliminate violence and poverty in the country.

“My story is a love story of the rich to the poor. We have to rise to the challenge and be heroes”
